Who is surprised?

Reader comment on item: The War on Campus

Submitted by Glenn Klotz (United States), Sep 17, 2002 at 15:07

After 9/11, many of these same campuses managed to figure out a way to blame America for the terrorist attacks.

Blaming Israel for its self-defense is almost second nature as well.

Who is surprised? Many of these schools are top heavy with 60's era professors who are forever finding a new cause to hate in the very society that allows them the freedoms to be so contrary.
